Anti-Semitic 'Elders of Zion' on Egypt TV

A television series about to be broadcast in Egypt and other Arab states is based upon <a href="http://ddickerson.igc.org/protocols.html">The Protocols of the Elders of Zion</a>, the notorious anti-semitic text, widely held as a creation of the pre-revolutionary Russian Czarist secret police.

Apparently, the story has been vetted by the Egyptian 'government broadcasting committee', which, among other things, is responsible for ensuring that shows that might encourage 'desecration of religion' don't make it onto the air. Due to the relatively low level of literacy, which sits at just 51%, many Egyptians will accept this show as the truth. Given the amount of funding the US gives to Egypt each year, should a more formal objection be raised to this piece of shit entertainment?

I don't think the show will make a difference, with anti-semitism so deeply engrained in the culture. Anwar Sadat had a lot of courage to sign a peace treaty with Israel. Al-Queda's # 2 guy, Ayman Zawahiri was one of the conspirators imprisoned for his assassination.

Hey, they're just using the same old tired tool; blame somebody else for your failings. It must be terribly embarrasing to get your ass kicked four times by a numerically vastly inferior country even when you have surprise and three or four other countries on your side. Plus the added embarrasment of not being able to bring your country out of grinding poverty after 6000 years of effort, while the new kid (only 55 years-old) wipes the economic floor with you. Finding out your shit is weak makes you mad.
